The school was originally built for the Great Yarmouth High School for Girls which moved from Trafalgar Road Great Yarmouth to the new building in 1957, it became the coeducational Gorleston Grammar School in 1970. It was recently awarded the status of Technology College as part of the Specialist Schools Trust. It is also a Training School, Leading Edge School and Investor in People.
In its last Ofsted inspection it received very high praise and it was among some of the highest in the county[1] In the lessons observed none of them were said to be below satisfactory and most were rated as 'good' and 'very good'[2]
Lynn Grove has recently been inspected and the corresponding report can be viewed on the Lynn Grove Website.
The School has been in many BBC Newsdays where for one day a group of students will become professional news reporters. This is run and produced by the media students who take part in the after school media club. Media club enables students who want a more practical approach to media to learn new skills in camera work, sound, and editing. Most members will then go onto producing small programs for the televisions which are located around the school.
The school's motto, Fidelitas in Parvis, is Latin for Fidelity upon Child although the school always said it meant Attention to Detail which is actually 'Intentio ut Retineo'. Ex-Headmaster Mr Batten used to say 'faithful to the little ones'. There are currently four houses in the school; Martin, Nelson, Cavell and Paget. The houses compete in sporting events in and between schools.
